**Overall Official Stance (Non-Tax Specific):**. The **Banque de la République du Burundi (BRB)** has publicly warned against the use of cryptocurrencies, stating that they are not legal tender, are not regulated by the BRB, and carry significant risks (volatility, scams, money laundering). This official position strongly suggests that crypto transactions are not formally recognized or endorsed, which complicates their tax treatment.. BRB has more recently taken an active engagement stance toward financial innovations and crypto‑linked assets—such as its memorandum of understanding with Quadra Capital to create an investment fund for problematic assets—rather than maintaining a clearly consistent, long‑standing cautionary stance in its public communications.. The official website of the Banque de la République du Burundi (BRB) is https://www.brb.bi/, and while much of the site remains primarily in French, it now includes some English-language content and documents; however, users still generally need to navigate French-language sections (e.g., news, publications) to locate specific circulars.. **Capital Gains Tax on Crypto:**
